Cliché Lucas Puig x Hélas collaboration board out now!

Arthur Derrien — Fri, 31 May 2013 12:19:29 +0000

Cliché and Hélas have just released a limited edition Lucas Puig board that comes free with a beanie.

In related news, last weekend I was in Marseille with some of the Cliché/Hélas boys for a Wu-Tang concert and a few demos so I thought I’d share these edits. Check out Adrien Coillard Boris Proust (the filmer killing it!), Maxime Géronzi, Luy-Pa Sin, Brian Peacock and a few other familiar faces shredding “La Friche”:

Many thanks to Momo and Bud skateshop for taking such good care of us!

Inside 113

On the cover of this month’s issue we’ve got Adrien Coillard taking out Geoff Rowley on Lyon’s famous hubba for the second time. Yep, the little guy who casually gap to bluntslid the beast in issue 110 went back for more.

In related “Bon Voyage” news, we covered Brophy, Flo, Joey, Pete Eldridge and Sammy Winter’s trip to China. The article should give you a good idea of the standard of skating we can expect from this new Cliché video. Only 4 days to go!

Since Element Europe are also working on a video (Hold It Down) we decided to send Sam Ashley to Morocco where Karsten, Nassim, Madars and Phil were out on a filming mission. Needless to say they absolutely killed it. With a crew like that what else would you expect?

We even managed to fit in Michi Mackrodt, Kenny Reed and globe trotting photographer Alexey Lapin’s recent trip to the Balkans.

As you can tell from the titles on the cover we’ve also picked the brains of some pretty funny characters this month. I’m sure a lot of you will find the Pearls Of Wisdom with the one and only “Give your life to Christ” Christian Hosoi quite interesting.

Samu Karvonen gets the first interview slot and tells us about organising a skate flea market, why he eats food from dumpsters and what he knows of Quicksilver’s plans for the Euro skate team. The second goes to Element Europe’s Jarne Verbruggen who came through with 16 pages of all terrain savagery. Finally we’ve got an Effect with Tom Day. Those of you who (like me) haven’t seen very much of him before this are in for a shock. This guy destroys some seriously unwelcoming terrain. Can’t wait to see the footage of these tricks in Heroin’s “Video Nasty“.

Now that you know what’s in there, go and get yourself a copy!

We weren’t able to make it to the L.A premiere of Cliché’s new video last week but the boys sent us a few photos of their night. Looked like fun!

Max Geronzi in Cliché Skateboards “BON VOYAGE” Countdown – Day 08

Arthur Derrien — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 09:57:27 +0000

I somehow only just noticed these little countdown clips so had to watch them all in one go. I was missing out big time! Above you can enjoy a little treat from Cliché’s secret weapon Maxime Géronzi, and below are my two favorite clips from the previous days. Be sure to check Cliché’s youtube channel if you haven’t been keeping up with these…

Cliché’s Bon Voyage world premiere in Lyon

Arthur Derrien — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 11:48:16 +0000

There you have it, the official date has been announced. The Cliché boys have rented out the Lyon’s skatepark to organise a jam for the kids and a best trick contest with the whole team and the local skate shop riders before the viewing. “Bon Appetit‘s” world premiere was held there almost ten years ago and it remains one of my fondest “skate related” memories to this day, so I can only recommend you do what ever it takes to get yourselves over to Lyon in three weeks time.

More Bon Voyage hype!

Speed Of Life

Deeli — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:50:25 +0000

The Cliché team hit Jerusalem and Tel Aviv late last year with Charles Collet, Javier Mendizabal, Flo Mirtain, Jeremie Daclin, Ricardo Fonseca, Boris Proust and Adrien Coillard. A couple of weeks later, we were there with the Vans Europe team and heard about the tricks they’d done at some of the spots we went to. An interesting detail was that one Adrien Boulard had done this and that on the trip. Hang on, Boulard is on the Enjoi flow program? Nono, same dude, likes his smoke, friendly, but not too extroverted…well, here’s the mystery solved. Coillard is the new Boulard, at least in the Middle East. Great times, great spots and great people!
